A medical camp under “Healthy Vijayawada” initiative was organised at Lahari Vidya Mandir in Payakapuram, Vijayawada, on Sunday (September 20, 2026), with over 200 patients receiving medical services.
The camps are jointly being organised by the Praja Arogya Vedika and Jana Vignana Vedika every two months on the third Sunday to provide medical care for people suffering from diabetes, hypertension, epilepsy, and paralysis.
